We are excited to announce the Chicago Bulls organization has generously donated a special ‘Chicago Bulls Experience’ for the Kindergarten-3rd and the 4th-8th grade classroom with the highest percentage of families participating in the Annual Fund by midnight, Friday, October 6.  No basketball experience is required – only thing you need to do to win is give! Already made your Annual Fund donation? Then your student(s) is(are) already included!

The Annual Fund accounts for more than 50% of the year-long FOB fundraising goal, investing in essential staffing, offsetting technology costs, building and maintaining classroom libraries, funding 100% of the accredited Merit Music program, the art program and so much more. What’s unique about the school’s Annual Fund, it is 100% driven by parent donations and provides funding to support EVERY Burley student, EVERY day. To date we have raised more than 40% of our annual fund goal. Don’t miss out on this chance for your Burley Tiger(s) to win a Chicago Bulls Experience all while supporting Burley school!

The 2023-2024 Annual Fund’s goal breaks down to a $750 ($63/month recurring gift) per-child ask. Please consider a one-time or monthly gift of any amount and your gift’s impact will last far beyond one year of learning. Our teachers’ professional excellence, the books we source, the music and art we create and the technology we expose our kids to at this stage in their learning is immeasurable. With your gift, you are supporting an enhanced curriculum that impacts every Burley Tiger, every day.

​What is the Annual Fund? 
​
A fundraising campaign supported primarily by Burley families raising money for Burley School’s critical programming. Burley School commits to educating the whole child and to providing curriculum and programming that supports the students as thinkers, readers and problem solvers. FOB is an all-volunteer parent organization that raises the funds necessary to make this possible. We continue to meet our goal each year; and we couldn’t do that without the Burley community. Will you make a gift today to support Burley students in this academic year?

Your donation gives Burley kids exposure to creativity, confidence, teamwork, exploration of talent, skill and imagination.

                                                     Thank you for Raising it Up!
